Chichester Fused Glass

Founded in 1994, the Leadbitter Glass Studio has been supplying Fused Glass panels to homes and businesses across Chichester ever since, delivering to every other part of the UK too. Where Chichester’s period homes were traditionally fitted with etched or stained glass, Fused Glass has become a popular contemporary upgrade in recent years, bringing a genuinely modern finish to doors and windows across the city.

Every Fused Glass design begins with an etched glass background, onto which small handmade fused tiles are kiln fired and incorporated into the panel, giving each piece a genuine sense of depth and texture on top of its colour. Panels are supplied as single or double-glazed glass, built to your own sizes for any door or window. The great majority of orders qualify for free delivery across Chichester.

We’ve supplied glass for a Prime Minister’s home, for Hollywood film sets, and for well-known musicians and billionaires — though the vast majority of what we make is still for homeowners across Chichester. We also produce other styles of Decorative Glass for Chichester clients, including Stained Glass, Bevelled Glass, and Etched Glass.

See your glass before we create it!

A Genuinely One-Off Piece, Confirmed First

Fused Glass carries a lot of individual decisions — background pattern, tile colours, spacing — so every Chichester order comes with a free Client Page before anything reaches the kiln. A computer-drawn proof, scaled to your exact glass, appears there within a few days of ordering. Want the tiles a different colour or spread differently? Tell us and we’ll amend it — as many rounds as it takes.

Built Up In Layers, Not Printed

Every panel begins as a sheet of toughened safety glass, sandblasted first to establish the etched background — the same process behind our Etched range. From there, individually shaped pieces of coloured glass are cut and UV bonded directly onto that surface, one piece at a time, so the design genuinely builds up rather than sitting flat.

The fused pieces sit roughly 6mm proud of the surface, giving genuine texture where the design calls for it, while the rest of the panel stays flat and built on the same toughened base as everything else we make. There’s no re-leading or re-glazing to think about later on, and a double-glazed version is available for extra insulation.
